How can you use a balance scale and a metric ruler to find the density of a rectangular solid?

Density is calculated using the below formula. It is represented by ρ.

To find the mass, weigh the rectangular solid using a balance scale.

To determine its volume, use a metric ruler to find the rectangular solid's length, width, and height.

To solve for volume of a rectangular solid, we simply multiply: length x width x height or V = lwh

Now, divide mass by volume to get the density. Use this Density Calculator to help you instantly get the answer.
